As of April 13, 2024, Urban Air Greenville is permanently closed.

Have you heard about Urban Air opening in Greenville? If your kids are driving you up the wall with their endless energy and no way to get it out, there’s a brand new adventure park in town that has just the remedy.

You may have seen the sign as you picked up groceries from Costco or shopped at Cabela’s. The big sign that reads “Urban Air Adventure Park.” If you’ve wondered what is going there, we have the answer.

If there ever was an hour for some time away from daily life and for moms to bond with their daughters without the pressure of eLearning, technology crashes, work frustrations, and a world turned upside down, this is it. Enter the Princess Palace, an upscale salon and event space decked out in cotton candy pink that is solely for the purposes of moms (or grandmas or aunts) connecting with and enjoying time with their daughters. 

AUGUST 2022 UPDATE: The Princess Palace is temporarily closed as they are moving to a new location. We’ll update when they reopen.

Dreaming of a Princess Palace 

Farrah Owens has a lot on her plate already as she is a mother and runs a home healthcare business. But when she was doing her nails with her daughters one day, they asked to go to a salon for some special time together. Hmm, where would they go?

While there are nail salons in the Greenville area that have one or two chairs for kids, none are designed specifically for Mommy & Me spa days the way Farrah envisioned. 

Farrah decided to change that. She envisioned creating a relaxing, one-of-a-kind salon complete with plush pink and white pillows, actual chairs that look straight out of a fairy tale castle and fit for a queen, comfortable robes, and of course, princess punch and tiaras. 

She told me she really wanted to create a space where “little girls can be little girls” and be pampered and be treated like royalty for a day. 

Dreams do come true. 

Salon Services & Events

The Princess Palace offers manicures, pedicures, and mini-makeup sessions. Mini-manicures start at $12, mini-pedicures at $20, and various VIP packages with all the royal amenities like a wand, tiara, princess punch, and plush robe, go up to $85, which covers two people. Pricing is available at this link.

The palace is designed primarily as an entertainment and pampering facility so they do not have acrylics and gel services but offer the highest quality products for mani-pedis. You know you’re in for a fun and relaxing time at the five star Princess Palace.

They also have a large event space where parents can opt for a spa-themed party for their own little princesses. One of the options include lots of dress-up costumes and a mini-runway fashion show. Can you hear the little girls squealing already?

Farrah also designed a relaxation room with dim lighting, a salt lamp, and fluffy pillows where moms and their daughters can hang out and read a princess book or receive a mini-facial. The facials for the little girls are even edible, which I had no idea existed before. Farrah stressed to me that the salon is very much geared towards little girls but also pampers moms too. But I do want an edible facial. 

“I wanted to bring something fun to the Upstate”, said Farrah. “After a long week of stress, we want moms, and grandmoms, to come in with their daughters and have fun together.”

The Princess Palace is geared towards young girls ages 4 through 16 and their moms and grandmas.

Being a salon service and entertainment venue, The Princess Palace is already taking great care in cleaning and disinfecting procedures. There is no mask policy in place but guests are certainly free to wear them if they like and employees will be wearing them.

The Princess Palace takes both appointments and walk-ins. Make your reservation here.
